Dull ache off n on in upper right abdominal and under lower rib area. slightly increase after eating, other times not. normal u/s. what's next step?

Ultrasound: A negative ultrasound of the right upper abdomen and chest x-ray usually rules out gall stones and liver disease as the causes of your discomfort which may be muscular. Sometimes sludge in the gall bladder is the culprit and it will not be seen on ultrasound. I recommend a consultation with a general surgeon if the discomfort continues to bother you.
